modResource.getProperty

Reads a single value from the namespaced properties field of the Resource. Returns $default when either the namespace or the key is missing. An absent property and a property explicitly set to null cannot be distinguished.

The value lives on the object until save(); use setProperty() to write it.

Syntax

mixed getProperty ($key [, string $namespace = 'core' [, mixed $default = null]])
  • $key (string) property name
  • $namespace (string) namespace the property belongs to, by default 'core'
  • $default (mixed) value returned when the property is not set, by default null

Example

$resource = $modx->getObject('modResource', array('id' => 5));
$color = $resource->getProperty('color', 'mycomponent', 'foobar');
